The place where the trains are

Last week there was a historical train "the Big Boy" going through Modena.  It was supposed to be in Modena at 5:00 and leave there at 5:30.  We (Me and Jamie and kids) decided to go out to see it.  Well, when we first got there we heard it was about an hour behind schedule, but that is no big deal.


Around 5:00 or 5:15 a train went by (not the Big Boy) and the boys loved it.  Not long after that we heard the train wouldn't be there until 8 or 830. We decided to wait and it was kinda hard with 6 kids under the age of 5 who had not eaten dinner and we didn't have much for food or drink.  At about 745 we gave up the wait cause we heard the train would not be there until closer to 9.  We saw one other train while we waited so the kids thought it was worth the time to be there.  Bummer we missed seeing the train that got there about 45 minutes after we left but oh well.  Still fun for a day out of the house.  Caleb thought it was fun enough he kept talking about "the place where the trains are" he asked to go back there about 3 times in the next 2 days.  Maybe a picnic trip to Modena is going to happen next week.

Oh that's a bummer that you missed it. I wanted to see it so bad! It sounds like a fun time and I bet your boys loved it!
